Folks are struggling to feed their families because Trump slashed food assistance & his tariffs are sending grocery prices through the roof. Thankfully, programs like Summer Eats are making sure no kid goes hungry while school is out. Grateful to spread the word about their free meals!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! MAGA!!!

Half of Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas, exclusive poll finds

About 57% of polled Americans also believe economy is worsening in grim portrait of cost of living crisis, according to Harris survey for the Guardian

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been languishing in Israeli prisons for 18 months without charge. He’s been beaten & tortured. Israel is violating its obligations under int’l law by continuing his detention. Not one more taxpayer dime should be sent to aid and abet such vile abuses.

Israel/ OPT: Fears mounting for arbitrarily detained Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya amidst reports his life is in grave danger

Israeli authorities must immediately release the arbitrarily detained Palestinian paediatrician and director of Kamal Adwan hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Amnesty International said today, amidst re...

I’m gonna go with yes since he just openly admitted it.

Once again, in Trump’s America, committing crimes is fine as long as you tell everyone you’re doing it.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 7(source)

Won’t wear a mask to protect others during a pandemic… …but will wear a mask to protect themselves from accountability for their radical hate-fueled bigotry. Cowards.

The Big Ugly Bill threw millions of Americans off health insurance. I shared a few of their stories on the House Floor ⬇️

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 6(source)

All thanks to Trump’s billionaires-first, workers-last economic policies.

U.S. adds just 57,000 jobs in June, a worrying sign as wage growth remains slow

It was the slowest month of hiring since February, when the labor market contracted. The unemployment rate slipped to 4.2%.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 4(source)

Happy Independence Day.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 2(source)

Yikes. GOP Congressman Austin Scott told me the economy is doing “pretty good.” …I guess if you hang out with Mar-A-Lago members all day, you think things are good. But the people I talk to think they’re getting hosed by Trump’s billionaire-first economic policies, stupid tariffs, and illegal war.

So much for free markets!

Trump: "Another gift. Intel needed something, I said, 'I'll do it for you. But give the United States of America 10% of your company.' He said, 'You have a deal.' He said it so fast I should've asked for more."

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 2(source)

Republicans had no problem giving ICE a $70 BILLION slush fund…but when it comes to spending just a small fraction of that on feeding hungry families, they say we’ve run out of money. It’s disgusting.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 2(source)

First-time home buying is at a record low. Trump’s solution is to push the American Dream of home ownership even further out of reach. Despicable.

Rents are up, homeownership is out of reach for so many families, and private equity continues swooping up single family homes to raise rents and jack up prices. We should be making it EASIER to pay your rent and buy a home!

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 2(source)

So Trump gets a luxury jumbo jet from Qatar. But no affordable housing or healthcare for you.

Vice President JD Vance attempted to make a joke at the expense of former President Joe Biden while speaking to troops at Virginia Beach — but the crowd was not amused.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 1(source)

An important bipartisan affordable housing bill to bring down costs could be the law of the land TODAY. Instead, Trump refused to sign it because we won’t let him lie about voter fraud and rig the midterms. He doesn’t care about affordability. He cares about himself.

Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialJul 1(source)

Hey Siri, define corruption.

Wow. Finally they admit that Trump's war is a complete and total disaster for U.S. farmers and the families they feed.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary admits the Iran war hurt farmers: Fertilizer is still way too high. Our agriculture community is struggling under high costs of inputs. The effect of the Iran conflict bears repeating.

Here's the truth about Trump's economy.
